Banned chemical 'Ractopamine' legal in Australia
as long as your willing to ignore the surrounding evidence to the contrary.

you still maintan that it is worthwhile to ignore growing anecdotile evidence and other studies that support the reasons to stop using poisons and other chemicals simply because they have a known effect. Where is DDT still used? NOWHERE. Why? Because it has negative impacts and long term consequences to the food chain and human health. No-one, anyway still uses DDT.

On the other hand while you maintain your stance on this issue I'd like to know why you we shouldn't take the same PRECAUTIONARY stance that other government agencies worldwide when it comes to allowing the profiteering of substances from a human weakness to seek cures for illnesses and disease. How do rationisle supporting quackery in the sciences?

If it's racism to support the LEGAL immigration process for ANYONE who wants to come to Australia from ANY COUNTRY then I AM A RACIST

If it's racism to speak out against all people who is/has attempting/attempted taking ILLEGAL steps to enter Australia then I AM A RACIST

If it's racism to speak out against first Australians living in Australia who speaks as though they are not Australians then I AM A RACIST

As for the climate change - that's been going on for the last 4,600,000,000 years so what's your point?


If that's the best answer you can give, just forget I asked the question....

What I said was, FOREIGN INTERESTS should be given leases. Keep Australia for Australia.


Actually what you said was:

Australia should act before it is too late and legislate to make it unlawful for any other Country or Company to own Australian land outright.

You talk about making it unlawful for any other country or company to own Australian land outright.  Do you also have an objection to individuals or partnerships consisting of individuals, where those persons are foreign nationals, owning Australian land outright?  And what about foreign nationals who live permanently in Australia?


I suppose I can consider your above post an answer, although I will have to fill in a few of the blanks myself.

That's really rich, I put up an argument that we should preserve Australia for Australians and suddenly I am a Nazi.


I think you're being a bit oversensitive here - Nazi was only mentioned in one brief post and the poster did not say that you were a Nazi.
PM has credibility issue: Labor MP.
progs and Maqqa, I agree. The whole party has lacked credibility for almost 5 years now. Really ever since they came to power.
The decision Rudd lived to regret

If Abbott had been taken to the DD Rudd squibed he would have lost.

I like most have given up any hope of us getting our crap together and doing something before its too late.
I will point out Abbott supports the targets and intends to achieve them thru his direct action plan.
The difference is most are too stupid to realise the money he intends to use is tax dollars, and BTW uncapped, so god knows how much we as tax payers will end up forking out.
But mr i don't follow politics doesn't realise he still will be paying and thinks its free.
The carbon tax might not be the best option but it is the option that makes those responsible pay and give mr average some choice on how much he pays.



Too late for what?

It's called GLOBAL warming ie not isolated to just Australia

With Australia emitting just 1.35% of total carbon emission - there's nothing that Australia does that will guarantee lowering of GLOBAL temperature

So this comes back to why Gillard is implementing the carbon tax - it's because we RATIFIED KYOTO and created a penalty that Australia MUST PAY

Unless of course we can meet those useless targets.

The direct action plan will help reduce the penalties

So all actions taken by the Coalition is limiting the damage caused by Rudd and Gillard
